The certificate is equivalent to the associate degree certificate of a domestic university, which is not recognized by domestic education and can only be used as proof of students' study abroad experience. Diploma is recognized by the Ministry of Education in China, but the final certification result is that there is no degree, which can only be regarded as a higher education diploma, which is different from a degree. This is very unfavorable for every international student who goes abroad to study for a master's degree, because some domestic employers, such as institutions, large foreign companies, doctoral students, need to provide academic credentials for the entrance examination.
